Blitz,
I know your pain. I had to be away from the wife for nearly 3 years, with weekend visits every other month or so for most of it. It hurts, but you appreciate the time you get all the more. Now she is back with me regular and we are doing well, just celebrated our 19th anniversary.
Hang in there bub, and make sure you let her know she was missed when she gets back in your life.
